hows your front end? a bad front end can cause funky tire wear, but im not sure why your back tires are wearing out like that.

Springs are sacked, get new ones.

That's not possible unless the rear axle is bent.

What they said - old tired front springs will do this, also bad ball joints (but that's not the case at 30k miles on them). Rear axle is straight, or at least should be, no way the tires have any camber other than zero...
